### Constructing a Circle Slot

The round slot constructed from two circles is defined mostly by the first circle selected. The slot is constructed in the same plane as the first circle. The width of the slot is also determined by the diameter of the first circle. The second circle is only used to determine the length of the slot. The length is the distance from the center of the first circle to center of the second plus the diameter of the first circle.

If the two input circles are not coplanar, the center of the second circle is projected perpendicularly onto the plane of the first circle. The distance is then calculated from the center of the first circle to the projected center of the second.

To construct a round slot from circles:

1. Access the Construct Slot dialog box (Insert | Feature | Constructed | Slot).

2. Select In or Out.

3. Select the Circles option.

4. Select two Circle features for inputs.

5. Click the Create button.
